HealthTap Cloud is powered by HOPES, a health operating system which connects the continuum of care to each person’s unique Personal Health Record (PHR), according to an article on Icrunchdata. APIs and SDKs that help developers build personalized web, iOS and Android apps are made available with the platform.
Opening its technology platform to developers through an application process enables them to access key modules of the HealthTap Cloud and further HealthTap’s mission of bringing affordable, high quality healthcare to billions of people, HealthTap states.
• Instant interoperability,
• Turnkey secure and private infrastructure
• Easy access to doctor knowledge and population data that may save developers time and money
Participating developers in HealthTap come from a range of institutions, including Fortune 500 employers, multinational payors, hospitals/health systems, government agencies, device/sensor manufacturers and health app startups. Google, IBM, Flex and iHealth are a few of the companies collaborating with HealthTap on building with the HealthTap Cloud.
Additionally, Blockchain S.A. is working with the HealthTap Cloud team to create a new healthcare blockchain — foundational infrastructure for managing federated, trusted access to medical records securely between all parties in the private network, including hospitals, doctor practices, insurance companies and app developers.
Blockchain CEO Peter Smith said, “Until today, blockchain’s main application has been to trustfully transact cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Now, HealthTap and Blockchain are taking a concrete and significant step towards leveraging this concept to solve a longstanding issue in healthcare – trusted, secure access to medical records for all.”
